“This ad violates Facebook’s advertising policy against sensational content so we are rejecting it. While the video is allowed to be posted on Facebook, it cannot receive paid distribution,” Facebook said in a statement Monday afternoon.

A spokesman for Facebook said the ad failed to meet the standards of their advertising policies.

“We have Community Standards that outline what is and isn’t allowed on Facebook,” the spokesperson said. “However, when it comes to ads on Facebook, we have a higher set of standards for what can run in an ad. Our Advertising Policies are more restrictive because they take paid distribution.”

The individual also admitted the ad had been run in error because it didn’t violate the site’s Community Standards.

“Under our Community Standards,” the person added, “this video is allowed to be posted on Facebook.”

Many people think Facebook’s move didn’t come soon enough, given the midterm elections are tomorrow.

So, @NBCNews@CNN@facebook have chosen to stand with those ILLEGALLY IN THIS COUNTRY. Instead of standing with LEGAL IMMIGRANTS and those that follow our laws. The #FakeNewsMedia and #PaloAltoMafia are trying to control what you see and how you think. STOP THE CARAVAN!

Yes, because a tech company determining whether content complies with its terms of service is *exactly* like an international criminal conspiracy involving in assassinations, drug-running, money laundering and other illicit activities.
